Current pharmacological strategies include: pre-insertion therapy (oral analgesia, cervical ripening/priming and local anaesthesia); therapy given during the procedure (local anaesthesia administered reactively) and post-procedure therapy (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs] and opioid analgesia).
Some of these approaches could be used during simple routine colonoscopy procedures, while others were specific to difficult situations encountered during insertion or therapy.

For example, methods have been developed for mechanical modeling of breast deformations [12],[13] and simulation of steerable needle insertion for prostate therapy [14]-[16] [14]-[16]
The overexpression of LIM-only protein 2 (LMO2) in T-cells, as a result of chromosomal translocations, retroviral insertion during gene therapy, or in transgenic mice models, leads to the onset of T-cell leukemias.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), including stent insertion, are established therapies in both acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and symptomatic chronic coronary artery disease refractory to pharmacological therapy.
Since the discovery of the CF gene over a decade ago, several groups worldwide have explored the potential of gene therapy, the insertion of a normal copy of the gene into the respiratory epithelium.
Despite the promise for success in the clinic, one major drawback of the retrovirus-based vector is that any unintended insertion events from the therapy can potentially lead to deleterious effects in patients, as demonstrated by the development of malignancies in both animal and human studies.
Traditional acupuncture involves needle insertion, moxibustion, and cupping therapy.
If patients did not improve on medical therapy TIPS insertion was performed.
